See my separate post on my battle with CFS after Epstein Barr. I too am what they used to call a “thick file patient” because I was bounced around one doctor after another and eventually told it was all in my head. Only years later when CFS was a bit better recognised did I get some support and understanding. I strongly believe Epstein Barr or other retroviruses are a factor in long COVID.

Brian Mason I hope that one of the positive outcomes of all this is a better understanding of cfs. So many people suffer with it. I'm recovering from Ross River Virus and have been in contact with many people who have long-term chronic fatigue symptoms for decades following that.

@@fusionfan6883 There is a hypothesis that a Corona infection might trigger a Herpes virus reactivating, such as HHV-6, HHV-7 or Epstein Barr (which is also a Herpes virus). These (all) Herpes viruses lie dormant within your body until the immune system is weakened and then might reactivate. There's also currently research going on if any of these viruses cause the mitochondria go transform into less efficient versions, which might cause the fatigue seen in ME/CFS patients. Dr. Bhupesh Prusty of the University of Würzburg has made some very interesting articles/speeches about this, he's also on Twitter. And more recent research seems to indicate that SARS-CoV-2 itself may have the ability to attach to the mitochondria as well.

I’m posting this so people can see how easy it is to control this virus even with people significantly at risk. “I am desperately looking for information on cannabis for ischaemic stroke - my mother suffered a small clot 2 weeks ago, had only mild aphasia and confusion, however was not admitted to the hospital we attended in time (despite us being there within 15 minutes) to be administered clot buster, so I fed her a tiny amount of cannabis, she improved within hours and most of her symptoms also went within days. She was only prescribed baby aspirin, which we are realizing now was not strong enough as she then suffered a much larger stroke on the 23rd, she had another clot which broke up, most of the smaller clots were removed via embolectomy however one remained so they then administered clot buster which led to a bleed. She is now semi paralyzed, having some issues with swallowing (she can but it is a slow process so she is on thickened purees) and on such a cocktail of drugs that she is feeling terrible and not sleeping. She has improved over the past two days, started feeding herself but not very much and not able to rest. I want to give her cannabis but I am worried as I have read some studies which claim it can lead to another bleed if a patient is on blood thinners. She is so far only still on baby aspirin but I think they plan to start her on them next week. She is the most important person to me and I am dying seeing her suffering. If you have any advice I would appreciate it so very much. Thank you ! If it were me I would definitely use cannabis. It will protect against future damage while stimulating new neuron growth Dr Bob she is still struggling, felt slighty better after starting the nac but having a hard time with the lung pain, her O2 dropped to 83 overnight but she’s at 95 now, should she take the nac pills as well as diluting and sipping? Thank you! Well I’ve seen with myself and others is that if you having breathing difficulty take a little more. It looks like it certainly helped her oxygen levels.

Mast cells (MCs) are activated by SARS-CoV-2. Although only recently recognized, MC activation syndrome (MCAS), usually due to acquired MC clonality, is a chronic multisystem disorder with inflammatory and allergic themes, and an estimated prevalence of 17%. . ."

It is to be hoped that adequate research intoo Long Covid will result in effective treatment and not the dangerous nonsense and ridicule that M.E. patients have endured.

Dr Judy Mikovitz thinks it is. She thinks ME is chronic fatigue syndrome and both are inflammation of the brain stem & spinal cord (I think from memory). She thinks this is caused by a mouse leukaemia related virus that has infected many humans as a result of contamination from vaccines. Many vaccines are grown on mouse brain culture. She thinks those worst affected by covid will be the carriers of this virus because they carry the ‘signature’ for cytokine storms. She thinks the key is keeping the inflammatory response at bay by maintaining various things - zinc, vit C, D. She also thinks these people would benefit from an antiretroviral drug given to people living with HIV that keeps that in check. Like Magic Johnson. He never developed AIDs.

Hi John, Thank you as always for your continuing and tireless efforts to update us all, it is very much appreciated. Truly horrific revelations today for the poor long haul sufferers, I have huge empathy for them and only hope with research, some relief and a cure can be found for these poor folks. With respect to the "Twonk" who fobbed you off, he needs to be put in his place (I would have followed him, instructing my Daughter to call the Police (to prevent a breach of the peace). AT the end of the day, if he is a manager / supervisor or whatever by default in charge, he has a legal obligation to provide a safe environment for staff and Customers alike and his refusal to hear your observations could (and probably should in some cases) be taken over his head to his superiors in addition to the Local Authority Trading Standards / Consumer Protection etc (I'll check with my Sister, she has worked in Legal compliance for a large Supermarket for most of he life). I suspect that failing to hear your case, is probably a contravention of certain regulations anyway in addition to being downright rude. In such scenarios I normally loudly make my case, and give them the option in Public to listen and act nicely or I can take up with their superiors (this mostly works but sometimes a letter to head office becomes necessary). Some may suggest I am being harsh but having worked all my life having to give Customers what they deserve and doing it politely and with humility, I tend to expect the same from others (which I think is not unreasonable or unfair) and in your case, they could be promoting an environment that could easily exacerbate the spread of the COVID Virus, so I really think he should have listened and paid far closer attention, these are potentially peoples lives , not a untidy shop or something minor infringement. Anyway, Thanks as always, may the force be with you...

Yep. It's definitely worse in the evening. It also comes in "waves" (which can last from a couple of hours up to 10 days), triggered by stress, or inflammatory food, or effort. Been sick since March18th (though it's definitely nowhere near as horrible for me as it was up til August). My infectiologist believes long covid is related to multi-systemic inflammation (in my case, blood vessels, muscles and nervous system), she's conducted biopsies on her patients and the results tended to confirm this theory (hence the prednisone I've been prescribed, and literally just started).

I’m posting this so people can see how easy it is to control this virus even with people significantly at risk. “I am desperately looking for information on cannabis for ischaemic stroke - my mother suffered a small clot 2 weeks ago, had only mild aphasia and confusion, however was not admitted to the hospital we attended in time (despite us being there within 15 minutes) to be administered clot buster, so I fed her a tiny amount of cannabis, she improved within hours and most of her symptoms also went within days. She was only prescribed baby aspirin, which we are realizing now was not strong enough as she then suffered a much larger stroke on the 23rd, she had another clot which broke up, most of the smaller clots were removed via embolectomy however one remained so they then administered clot buster which led to a bleed. She is now semi paralyzed, having some issues with swallowing (she can but it is a slow process so she is on thickened purees) and on such a cocktail of drugs that she is feeling terrible and not sleeping. She has improved over the past two days, started feeding herself but not very much and not able to rest. I want to give her cannabis but I am worried as I have read some studies which claim it can lead to another bleed if a patient is on blood thinners. She is so far only still on baby aspirin but I think they plan to start her on them next week. She is the most important person to me and I am dying seeing her suffering. If you have any advice I would appreciate it so very much. Thank you ! If it were me I would definitely use cannabis. It will protect against future damage while stimulating new neuron growth Dr Bob she is still struggling, felt slighty better after starting the nac but having a hard time with the lung pain, her O2 dropped to 83 overnight but she’s at 95 now, should she take the nac pills as well as diluting and sipping? Thank you! Well I’ve seen with myself and others is that if you having breathing difficulty take a little more. It looks like it certainly helped her oxygen levels. Make sure to take the vitamin D as well and CBD if possible but the neck directly titrated the symptoms while they’re happening with the people I’ve seen including myself and family so just dilute and drink the nac rather than swallow some nac as well as diluting it? She’s taking cbd and vit d but I think she’s going to up the doses now, thanks again so much! Yes it works faster and gargling with it really does soothe any throat issues essentially immediately Dr Bob, she recovered very well shortly after this - thanks again so so much”

42 fit and healthy, covid in march, pneumonia and subsequent bacterial infection....soon as the sun went down my symptoms got worse. same rotation of symptoms ...dizziness, tinkling hands and feet, nausea, confusion, headaches, the feeling as if my muscles were pumped up, muscle pain in the back and rib cage, hair thinning, thumb nail growing in concave mood swings....9 months in and it is slowly getting better its almost like it plateaus for a few weeks then a small improvement. trying to keep up with the research papers, seems there is endothelial cell disfunction, glymphatic drainage in the brain problems and overly active mast cells. the ballykinin and cytokine storm in the lungs and endothelial cell disfunction would explain the hair loss, funny nail growth, fatigue and loss of taste and smell as the body uses zinc and vitamin B1 to inhibit or mop up the balykinin and cytokine storm, symptoms of deficiency in b1 and zinc consist of fatigue, hair loss concave nail growth, loss of smell and taste. . started to take 22mg zinc pincolate twice a day along with 100mg B1 twice a day this improved the fatigue, hair loss and concave nail growth. started to take 1000mg of fruit based vitamin c three times a day and 100mg of vitamin e once a day to help the endothelial cell dysfunction. resveratol twice a day 200mg. green tea sometimes dandelion root tea with birch bark added for the mast cell over-reaction, this works wonders. to help my lungs i crush a 1/4 tea spoon of broccoli seeds and add them to a squeezed lime and leave it for a few minutes which creates around 2000/3000mg of sulfurophane once to twice a week, i also took a crushed garlic glove three times a day for a few months, again crushing it and leaving it for 10 mins to create allacyn (add it to food though taking it raw will make the stomach burn). most of the symptoms i experience i've found can be alleviated with vitamins as the body has become depleted due to using those vitamins to counter the metabolic cascade of the disease. i hope this helps someone who might be in the same position i was in a few a months ago. also introduce one thing at a time to see if it helps. reloading the body with vitamin d is a good idea too, as DR Campbell mentioned in a previous video the immune system uses vd to build the antibodies so it stands to reason you would become depleted in this as well as the other vitamins involved in dealing with the damage caused by the symptoms

Hi, many thanks Dr. Campbell for all that you do for us! Here’s my experience in Istanbul on long covid so far: Background: Got the virus on March 18th 2020; after high fever, chest & joint pains, went to the hostpital on March 30th, stayed for 18 days - not ventilated but blood levels of d-dimer and ferritin were extremely high. Tested positive, was released after two negative tests. Mid June antigen level was 61, mid Nov antigen is still found in my blood showing 22. Mid June, I was given cortizone for 9 days, 6mg/day. Overall it took me 3 months to recover. Then in Oct started feeling fatigue again, most annoying was muscle pain in both of my legs, starting every morning when I woke up. Futher tests early November showed all fine, EMG tests on muscles and nerves came out normal. My dr prescribed another 9 days of cortizone, Dexamethazone this time. After that my muscle pains dissapeared and I can walk/run again. I sometimes still feel like I forget some simple words... I believe I am close to fully recovering. This dexamethazone seemed to help, dr suggested to use 6mg/day for 9 days, so short usage term created a good result. Just writing so that if you experience the same, you can check with your dr to see if it may work for you as well. Everyone’s experience is somewhat different and as the world is at the early stage of learning about the long covid, we need to research, ask questions and find possible answers ourselves.... wish all good health & strength!

On the Sunday evening we went to an on site restaurant/pub for a meal. We had to book our reservation and on arrival we were led to a large table and seated. The table was near to the open kitchen where you could see the food being prepared and cooked. It was very hot and humid. I looked around and could not see any windows open or any ventilation in the area. I become very concerned and extremely uncomfortable. Also the adjoining tables were not in my view placed sufficiently apart and I don't think the management had done anything in order to comply with the then covid guidelines. I felt that uncomfortable that I decided to leave having spent less than about five minutes in the premises. Fortunately my family did not catch anything but the following day I developed one of the worse colds I have ever experienced.

Believe me I was reluctant to go but this short break of three nights had been booked as a Christmas present from my son who now lives in Scotland and whom we had not seen since January. My wife and I live in West Wales in small village in Ceredigion and had been isolating or hibernating as I prefer to call it, since early March. We had a number of plans to go away with our caravan over the spring and summer period. We cancelled everything, preferring to stay at home where we felt we were in control and relatively safe. In March I arranged home deliveries of our weekly shopping and also arranged for our monthly medication to be home delivered. I agree with you in that why would anybody want to go away given the current circumstances. I have followed the good Doctor since the end of February and taken his advice on victim D and zinc from the beginning. Unfortunately I could not convince my wife that under the circumstances I did not think it was appropriate to go. What really made matters worse as far as I was concerned was that my daughter in law challenged my decision and stated that I was over reacting. Little did she know how that would affect our future relationship. Much to my disappointment nobody else really supported me saying that it was my decision but they had not or were not aware of the advice being given by Dr John.

Fact is there are serious side effects to any drug that affects the brain which brings on worse results and even suicide. His other recommendations were fine. So if each person can gather their own knowledge from various sources they can do wonders for themselves to stay healthy and even recover. The best suggestions are vitamin D3 and C and in large enough quantities that it makes a difference and divided doses are better. The UK is now doing a three part study for 6 months with only one group taking enough so that ill be interesting to see the outcome. Just remember that he said Dr Anthony Fauci takes 6,000 iu a day which made me increase to half that amount from 2,000 as I already took what Dr Campbell takes for years and my level has been tested and is strong. I do take a much wider variety than that. Dr Mobeen Syed will explain the details that Fauci fails to explain in why it is that Vitamin D3 is so important.

In regards to the the case of Paul Garner, I urge him to seek a qualified Chinese medicine herbalist, specifically one trained in the Shanghan/classical formula systems. The symptom pattern described here should not be difficult to treat. I’ve personally treated a number of people for COVID19, ranging from mild to moderate presentations (fever, shortness of breath, strong body aches, dry cough, etc - basically anything short of hospitalization), and “long haul” sequella. I am disappointed the standard medical community shows so little interest in the possibility of professional herbal medicine. The usage was highly esteemed in China and Taiwan, and there was a fair amount of research published regarding traditional herbal formulas application in COVID treatment. I normally don’t want to get into this on KZbin because the comment sections tend to find the worst of humanity, but in the interest of improving his quality of life, I felt the need to share. Thanks Dr. Campbell, I’ve been following you since before the first cases even reached the west - you’ve been great through it all. Cheers! Edit: The second case should also be treatable. The main pattern in each case is called a “shaoyang syndrome”, it’s described as a lingering, weakened pathogenic influence that cannot be totally resolved due to a weakened immune state. Like an ongoing war between two beleaguered forces, neither side can gain the upper hand for long, hence the ongoing, intermittent fever, fatigue, dizziness, etc. The strength of Classical Chinese medicine is close attention to symptoms and the precise differentiation between different symptom presentations (that is, never viewing a symptom in isolation but viewing them in concert as discrete patterns or constellations).

Some have been finding benefit from taking some anti-histamine (altho not recommended for people with poss liver issues) Finally got my appetite back a few weeks ago and feeling much better, although I still get a thumpy chest after eating white bread? Some of the other longhaulers have talked about developing allergies or increased issues with foods etc. I also had raised ridges on the side of my tongue in the latter weeks and some red marks in my mouth which got me an urgent mouth cancer referral, all ok and poss lichen planus. ....Very strange indeed.

@@OffRampTourist Thank you. I am pretty much there. The food and palpitations in long covid was a connection that I made from months of illness. But I think everybody is different and the foods that trigger it are different. There are a lot of food issues with longhaulers. As for the theories that are being considered, they might be to do with food intolerances causing blood sugar spikes due to damage to controls that usually maintain them, the big one being given weight to by the longhaulers is the MCAS anti histamine diet etc idea. I think Dr Tina Peers has a video somewhere on here. I have not checked credibility of the idea, I actually found what worked myself and then others mentioned her work too, but there should be other information on MCAS online too. Just ideas at the moment :) The only thing I will add is that if you have palpitations and GI issues from covid, get some psyllium husk fibre 1/2 teaspoon in a glass of water a day for a few days every so often an hour after meals, does help with the abdominal ache and the other symptoms with digestion. But read into it first of course.

@stevelomas3886 3 жыл бұрын

A lot of theory emerging about links to MCAS or Mast Cell Activation syndrome which leads to high levels of histamine due to the hyper activity of T cells fighting an infection no longer present and causing random inflammation around the body. Certain foods promote or carry high histamine which can add to the problem. There is recent guidance that MCAS treatment using antihistamines, low histamine diet, key supplements particularly Quercatin, Niacin, and possibly even GP medicines eg Montelukast which also controls the inflammatory response. Some key videos on KZbin around the growing theory particularly if you had a mild version of the disease originally and had a previous inflammatory condition like asthma. I hope more research into MCAS similarities assists solutions in the short term. In the last week I have been trying antihistamine and Montelukast with some incremental benefit but too soon for me to be fully confident. I hope Dr John can take a look into this when the main crisis is over.

I’m posting this so people can see how easy it is to control this virus even with people significantly at risk. “I am desperately looking for information on cannabis for ischaemic stroke - my mother suffered a small clot 2 weeks ago, had only mild aphasia and confusion, however was not admitted to the hospital we attended in time (despite us being there within 15 minutes) to be administered clot buster, so I fed her a tiny amount of cannabis, she improved within hours and most of her symptoms also went within days. She was only prescribed baby aspirin, which we are realizing now was not strong enough as she then suffered a much larger stroke on the 23rd, she had another clot which broke up, most of the smaller clots were removed via embolectomy however one remained so they then administered clot buster which led to a bleed. She is now semi paralyzed, having some issues with swallowing (she can but it is a slow process so she is on thickened purees) and on such a cocktail of drugs that she is feeling terrible and not sleeping. She has improved over the past two days, started feeding herself but not very much and not able to rest. I want to give her cannabis but I am worried as I have read some studies which claim it can lead to another bleed if a patient is on blood thinners. She is so far only still on baby aspirin but I think they plan to start her on them next week. She is the most important person to me and I am dying seeing her suffering. If you have any advice I would appreciate it so very much. Thank you ! If it were me I would definitely use cannabis. It will protect against future damage while stimulating new neuron growth Dr Bob she is still struggling, felt slighty better after starting the nac but having a hard time with the lung pain, her O2 dropped to 83 overnight but she’s at 95 now, should she take the nac pills as well as diluting and sipping? Thank you! Well I’ve seen with myself and others is that if you having breathing difficulty take a little more. It looks like it certainly helped her oxygen levels. Make sure to take the vitamin D as well and CBD if possible but the neck directly titrated the symptoms while they’re happening with the people I’ve seen including myself and family so just dilute and drink the nac rather than swallow some nac as well as diluting it? She’s taking cbd and vit d but I think she’s going to up the doses now, thanks again so much! Yes it works faster and gargling with it really does soothe any throat issues essentially immediately Dr Bob, she recovered very well shortly after this - thanks again so so much”

We took every precaution that we could, stayed home and wore masks every time we went to a store. My husband was infected at his work during a lunch break when employees take off their masks to eat. He had more of the gastro symptoms and fever, and he was lucky to have a mild case and was back to work in a little more than 10 days. My symptoms were much worse than his with some days being that I questioned if I might need to be hospitalized. I recovered at home as our hospitals are filling up. I suffered a widow maker heart attack in 2009 and have two stents, I also have high blood pressure, high cholesterol. I am also a little bit fluffy after quarantining so much this year. My symptoms with Covid-19 were as follows: fever, malaise, nausea, diarrhea, extreme fatigue, chills, feeling as if my eyes, arms, and legs were literally on fire for hours (easily one of the worst symptoms ever), and aches in muscles and joints. I felt so exhausted that all I wanted to do was sleep all day, I had an altered sense of taste and just feeling bad for hours and days on end. My hands hurt and I still have lingering effects in my hands especially. I suffered brain fog, tremors in my hands of which I never had before, my hands are still shaky and trying to grasp things is harder than before Covid-19. I suffered from a lack of appetite and only really started wanting to eat just yesterday. We both had some coughing and a slight struggle to breathe. Most of our symptoms fell in the gastro version of the virus. I am also still very tired and can only be up a few hours of the day and then I have to rest again. It truly has been a nightmare but we both are so appreciative of the fact that we did not die from this disease. I just had some lab work done and my monocytes are at 13.0, my EO is at 3.9, and the Immature gran are at 0.5 IG PARAMETER REFLECTS THE COMBINATION OF METAMYELOCYTES, MYELOCYTES, AND PROMYELOCYTES.

I believe I had a very mild case (warm face and sudden cough) in Aug 2019 which was followed by several weeks of cranial nerve shooting pains similar to postherpetic neuralgia you get from shingles. Was very unusual. In Dec 2019 I got a severe case. Started with non-typical diarrhoea, several days of joint arthritis, fatigue, dizziness. Progressed to fever, chills, cough, loss or change of taste/smell which then rapidly turned to burning pneumonia. The headache from coughing made the cranial nerve I felt affected in previous infection like it wanted to explode. Very dangerous pneumonia which worsened at night and joint pains upon waking that made me think I'd blown my back out during the night but affected every bone in my body. Thankfully after 3 nights of true terror I woke up after 2 hours sleep and my lungs felt a bit better rather than worse. Was extremely weak for at least another week after that and even 3-4 weeks later had not fully recovered. That's when I started to notice it felt like my immune system had reset and was struggling to cope with everything. Ongoing diarrhoea and sudden bouts of shortness of breath involving numb hands. Rapid heart beat, waking up to the sound of my body gasping for air. Fatigue and dizziness to the point I'd feel close to passing out after mild exercise etc. Kidney pains several months later, bouts of hair loss, brain fog etc. 12 months since the severe case and I'm still waking up exhausted to the sound of my body gasping for air.

I'm glad that medical professionals are taking it seriously. All of the most common symptoms that Dr John mentioned, are symptoms that I have with Fibromyalgia and its hell on most days. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

John you have been a great help through all this, thank you. I know in your most recent videos you have a positive attitude towards the outcome but I'm having my doubts.
